~Flashback~

A gasp and a sob leave my throat

"It's ok, (Y/N)-"
"No it's not, we're murderers!"
"To be fair...we don't have a choice."

Five gently rubs my back as I cried "I hate this...." I whimper, quieting down "I know....I know. I'm sorry." Five sighs, wrapping his arms around me. I hold him arms tightly "C-come on....let's just go." Five says, standing us up. I sigh, nodding

"I'm gonna kill them." I growl, storming inside after watching the briefcase-the one I killed a room of people to get-explode

Harper, Five and Luther follow behind me carefully "Guys, doomsday is still coming! We gotta think of a new plan." Luther says, I stop in my tracks and flash him a crazed look "Don't you get it, Number One?" I ask harshly "It's over, all right? We're already dead!"

Harper looks around nervously "We can't just give up." She says, holding Five's hand "I have a plan." Five says.

I look at him "But we have to do the unthinkable." He tells me. My eyes widen "Five....you don't mean-" Five nods and I sigh. "Wait, what?" Harper asks "Yeah...the h*** are you talking about?" Luther asks. "I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this." Five groans, taking my hand and pulling me and Harper into another room "Come to what, Five?" Luther calls from behind.

Five closes the door behind us and locks the door

"Five! (Y/N)! Come to what?!"

"Are we really giving up?" Harper asks, taking a seat on the bed. Five and I look at each other "Five will explain everything, I'm gonna go take a shower." I state, heading to the bathroom.

~Time Skip~

Five, Harper, and I walk out our room and head to the kitchen

"(Y/N)? Five?....Harper?"

"Got the powder?" Five asks, I nod as I pour the powder on myself "I got water." Harper tells us, handing us two big cup. "Thanks, Harp." I says, messing with her hair "You're welcome!" She says, taking a seat at Luther walks into the kitchen "What are you doing?" Luther asks, staring at us weirdly. "Yeah." I say, chugging down more water "They need to be hydrated." Harper tells him "Hydrated?" He asks as Five puts the powder on.

"What's with the baby powder?" Luther asks "It'll help with the itching." Five states "What itching? There's itching? What the h*** is going on here? Can someone please tell me the plan?" Luther asks "This is a desperation move." I sigh, putting more powder on "Since none of our brain-dead siblings are capable of meeting a simple deadline, we've got no choice." Five says as we walk into the living room.

Luther stares at us from the door "No choice about what?" He asks "We have to find ourselves." I say, throwing on a hoodie. Five pulls out a watch "We just arrived in Dallas 15 minutes ago." Five says out loud. Luther just stares at us "Should I be worried about you two?" He asks, making Harper groan "They're time travelers. They were sent to 1963 with a job from the Commission. So the past them are here now." Harper states.

I look at her "How did a 4 year old understand that better than you?" I ask, crossing my arms. Luther looks down "Wait-so your past selves are just walking around Dallas?" Luther asks "Walking around Dallas with a briefcase that can get us home." Five says, blushing a little as I fix his uniform...we gotta get him some better clothes soon.

"Oh my gosh, you two are geniuses." Luther says "But, there are two problems with this plan. Problem one: we are trained assassins, and Five is arguably the most dangerous assassin in the space-time continuum," I tell him "And knowing Five, he isn't gonna take to kindly to bumping into himself." "What about past you?" Harper ask "Eh, I'm the nicer one out of the 2 of us." I say with a shrug. Five rolls his eyes with a smirk "Problem number two," Five says
